You seem to have more clue about web development than I do (my only experience with web are Perl/CGI scripts of early 2000s).
Can you describe in more detail how google could detect that the GA identifier has been swapped and how to prevent detection?
- tokenizerrr 12y agoI'm by no means an expert, but usually when a web browser makes a request for a resource it includes a referral header which tells the server where it came from. This header is probably sent both to the initial javascript request and to the tracking pixels it requests to send new info to Google. At a first glance I feel like if you change the tracking id, and the referrals, you may have some success messing with their system. But again, not an expert and I could easily be missing something crucial.
- tokenizerrr 12y agoToo late to edit now, but also I would not be suprised if the javascript they use records the url that is visited and reports that back as well.
